    Pentax K-1 II Sensor and Photography Features

    Pentax K-1 II has a 36.0MP Full frame (35.9 x 24 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features PRIME IV processor. You can shoot at maximum resolution of 7360 x 4912 pixels with aspect ratios of and 3:2. K-1 Mark II has a native ISO range of 100 - 819200 and it can save files in RAW format which gives you a wider room for post processing.

    Pentax K-1 II is not the highest resolution Full frame camera. Sony A7R V with its 61.0MP sensor is leading in this class. Check the comparison of Pentax K-1 II vs Sony A7R V or take a look at Highest resolution DSLR cameras list.

    High Resolution Mode

    Pentax K-1 II has a special High Resolution mode where the camera takes multiple images of a scene while moving its sensor using the sensor shift image stabilization system and combine them automatically to create a much higher resolution image. This feature works best with static scenes and using a tripod is a must to minimize stitching artifacts.

    Anti-Aliasing Filter

    Another important feature about Pentax K-1 II's sensor is the lack of anti-alias (Low-pass) filter. Removing anti-aliasing filter increases the sharpness and level of detail but on the other side it also increases the chance of moiré occurring in certain scenes. But wait! K-1 Mark II takes care of this problem for you. It has a unique and adjustable Anti-Aliasing Filter Simulator mode which can create the effects of a Low Pass filter electronically when you want to avoid moiré.

    Let's look at how the size of the Pentax K-1 II's Full frame sensor compares with other standard sensor sizes.

    Pentax K-1 II LCD and Viewfinder

    Pentax K-1 II has a Fully Articulated 3.20-inch LCD screen with a resolution of 1,037k dots. Articulated screens are more video oriented compared to only tilting or fixed screens. On the other hand, photography oriented users generally prefer tilting screens. The Pentax K-1 II's 3.20" screen is larger than average and its resolution is up to the class standarts.



    Pentax K-1 II back view and LCD

    Unfortunately Pentax K-1 Mark II doesn't have a Selfie friendly screen. If this feature is important for your shooting style, check here the list of Best DSLR Cameras with Selfie Friendly LCD screen.


    K-1 Mark II has a built-in Optical (pentaprism) viewfinder, making it easier to shoot in direct sunlight and in other situations where it might be difficult to view the LCD monitor. The viewfinder has a coverage of 100% and a magnification ratio of 0.7x. 100% coverage ensures that what you see in the viewfinder while shooting matches exactly what you will get later in your image, helping accurate framing your shots and minimizes the need for cropping images later.

    Pentax K-1 II Connectivity, Storage and Battery

    One other feature that we like is the ability to use our smartphone as a remote to control our K-1 Mark II. You can change camera settings, release shutter, view LCD screen and tranfer files using remote control app.

    You can connect K-1 Mark II to compatible devices via its HDMI port or USB 2.0 (480 Mbit/sec) port.

    Pentax K-1 II Battery

    Pentax K-1 II is powered by D-LI90 battery which provides a battery life of 670 shots according to CIPA standards. Considering that the average battery life of DSLR type cameras is 943 shots, Pentax K-1 II has a short battery life for its class so we strongly recommend K-1 Mark II owners to invest in some extra batteries.
